Open up the link above, I installed this unit, with an outside cell antenna
(23 feet above water) and 3 watt amp on Ocean Rose. The VZ card fits in the
unit and then allows the whole boat, to share the signal.

We are using a Mac laptop, a IBM PC, two printers PERFECTLY. And it is locked
down with a pass code needed to gain access to the signal. If any friends
arrive on Ocean Rose with
their computer, all it takes is to give them the security code, and they are
on also.

Has worked perfectly from Maine to FL. Of course, will not work in the Bahamas
as they use a GSM signal. But, I can get a data card from Batelco and plug
that into the CradlePoint 1200
(taking out the VZ card) and then have the wireless system all over the boat
also.
